Juliette Reilly - 23 Lyrics

If you take away the wind
The birds don't know who their supposed to be
If you take away the walls
We're all just dancing

Well, I've been trying to fall asleep
But my heart won't quiet down
Cause I need you to keep the beat
Can you believe where we are now?

Took an oath to stay young, I break it everyday
Said I won't fall in love, I want you in the worst way
You can't get tough if you don't bleed
I'm sleeping everywhere, but calling nowhere home
Collecting goodbyes and things I wish I'd known
It's not where we thought we'd be
But we're doing good for twenty three

If you take away the lines
We'd all be crashing on the street
If you take away the time
We all could taste our dreams

But I can never fall asleep
Cause my heart won't quiet down
And I need you to keep the beat
Cause I can't believe where we are now

Took an oath to stay young, I break it everyday
Said I won't fall in love, I want you in the worst way
You can't get tough if you don't bleed
I'm sleeping everywhere, but calling nowhere home
Collecting goodbyes and things I wish I'd known
It's not where we thought we'd be
But we're doing pretty good for twenty three

And I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause what if the world comes fallin' down
In the morning when I leave?
So just hold me for right now

Took an oath to stay young, I break it everyday
Said I won't fall in love, I want you in the worst way
You can't get tough if you don't bleed
I'm sleeping everywhere, but calling nowhere home
Collecting goodbyes and things I wish I'd known
It's not where we thought we'd be
But we're doing pretty good for twenty three

If you take away the end
Every new start comes up clean
